lie Hates DrunkarS.

The drunkard maker always hates
his old and most reliable customers,
and is proud of cursing them and
kicking them out. How we should
be surprised to hear a shoemaker
slam the door against an old custo-
mer, and say: "You villainous old
scamp, have made boots and shoes
for you and your family for twenty
years, and have been paid for them,
and here you are after more shoes
Get out, and don't let me see yonr
face again" How funny it would
look to see tailor basting an old
schoolmate into the gutter, because,
after getting his clothes there for
over fifteen years, he wants to buy an
overcoat. Or a minister assaulting
an old standby because he has been
twenty five years communicant and
elder in the Church, and therefore
must be unfit company for anybody.
Is mt it time for drunkards to be
ashamed of the drunkard makers p

A Shot That Hurts.

That elect woman, Mrs. S. i. Cha
pin, ofSouth Carolina, writes OF her
trip home from Texas: Il sat be-
hind two rummies, who were discuss
ing Prohibition on the train yester-
day, and one informed the other that
the most they had to dread was the
wakening of the right wing of their
army, the highHcense Christian men.
'For,' he said, the Christians hold
the balance of power and if they with
draw their support the traffic is gone.
Is it not a dreadful thought chat this
traffic in souls is unwittingly kept up
by protesting Christians?"

Death of the Talented Paul Feval-Break
Down of brilliant Brain.
While scientific men have been register
ing the perturbation of the earth, literary
people have been interested In the analy-
sis of the wreck of q brain, that OF the
talented ard 80 long laborious Paul Feval,
who died the other day In the hospital OF
the Brethren Of Saint Jean dc Dieu, where
SO many other noble spirits have gone to
lay their fleshy garments down. One
writer appears even to have taken mel
ancholy pleasure in analyzing the last
dread experiments to which NJ Feval, at
the bidding of his physician, had subjected
himself i'm the hope Of recovering the writ
ing and thinking power which was conn
pletely fading away from him. Poor
Paul Fevall 1t seems but yesterday; yet
it Is Just twenty years since he wrote that
sparkling sentences:
"The pulse of Paris beats 100 TO the min
ute, watch IN hand; yet we Parisians live
20 years.
He lived twice as fast as many OF his
literary contemporaries, and ten times as
fast as the old man who lived under q
tree near Verona; but his brain, like that
of so many other Parisians, could not
stand the strain which IL at one period
liked and reveled In. First came the
splendid, sparkling series of works, novels,
essays and polemical articles. Then came
the disgust with the world, the retirement
into deep seclusion. There was time
when the author found consolation In the
practices Of religious orderi and by and
by the complete breakdown arrived.
Nothing can he more melancholy to any
one familiar with the history OF literary
careers than the perusal OF the last pages
which NJ. Fcval wrote when trying 70
spur on his wornout imagination fhe
pen literally fell from his fingers, and he
would record this fact, sometimes point
ing out to his doctor the record OF such a
sad and significant action as the only
achievement OF the day.
A little while before his death the emil

Talmage on the Saloon Traffic.

Every saloon built above ground OF
dug under the ground is center OF
evil. 1t may be licensed and for
time it may conduct its business in
elegant style; but after awhile the
cover will fall of, and you will see
the iniquity in its night-coloring'
Plant a grog shop in the midst OF the
finest houses of your city, and the
property will depreciate five, ten,
twenty, thirty, fifty per cent. Men
engaged in the ruinous traffic some
times say: "You don't appreciate
the fact that the largest revenues
paid to the government are by our
business" Then I remember what
Gladstone, the Prime Minister of
England, said to q committee of men
engaged in that traffic when they
came to him to deplore that they
were not treated with more consider
alton. "Gentlemen, don't be uneasy
about the revenue. Give me thirty
million sober people, and I will pay
the revenue, and have large surplus.
But my friends the ruin to property
is very small part of the evil. II
takes everything that is sacred in the
family, everything that is holy in
religion, everything that is infinite in
the soul, and tramples it in the mire'
The dram shop is the gate of hell.

asked a leading attorney there how
Prohibition worked in that place. He
replied at is destroying the prac-
tice OF lawyers The last year Of IL
cense in Clarinda there were five
saloons, who paid the city two thous-
and five hundred dollars. That year
we had one hundred and forty.eight
cases of criminal prosecutions

deputies, at forty-five dollars each
per month three policemen at forty
dollars each per month +; ten mill taxa

thousand dollars in the city treasury;

Tho Koran's Hours Of Prayer.

The Koran has fixed the hours that
must be consccrated to prayers. These
prayers, namazi, are five in number. The
most solemn is she morning prayer IL is
the sabah namazi; 1t is uttered after the
dawn, Just before the rising Of the sun.
The second Is the midday prayer, Guile
namazi. The third, jkindy namazi, must
be offered just before the setting OF the
sun. The evening prayer, aacham ma
mazi, Is uttered Just before the shadows
conceal the horizon. Finally, the last and
fifth prayer, yatcy namazi, Is uttered in
the interval after sundown and just be-
fore dawn.
The hour Of prayers Is regularly pro-
claimed to the faithful by the imams,
called muezzins, who walk around
the balcony of the minarets, sing
ing, in n melancholy voice, this
uavarying litany. ''God, the most
hight i here proclaim that there Is no
God but God. proclaim that MohaIn-
med is the prophet Of God, Come to the
temple Of salvation. Great God God
the most hight There Is no God but
Godl'' Blind men are usually selected for
muezzins or at least imams that suffer
from confirmed myopia, 80 that they cam
not throw inquisitive glances toward the
women that may be promenading ON tho
terraces of the houses.-The cosmo-
nolffan
